Pitch Ready represents 10 years of dedicated research and development, built on over 30 years of professional sports experience. We combine innovative consultancy with cutting-edge software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions to reduce injury risk in high-performance athletes.
Our biomechanical testing and clinical interventions—centered on pre-injury reduction strategies and return-to-sport (RTS) testing—originated from Dr. Tim McGrath’s PhD research. Initially developed to support decision-making in professional sporting organizations, his research demonstrated the effectiveness of 3D motion analysis in quantifying injury risk and rehabilitation outcomes. Furthermore, it also exposed critical limitations in traditional data collection and processing methods. Converting accurate data into actionable, evidence-based insights is both time-intensive and complex, even for experienced sports scientists and clinicians. This often forces high-performance teams to prioritize speed over accuracy, resulting in suboptimal outcomes.
Our SaaS platform addresses these challenges by automating key processing and reporting functions, ensuring that evidence-based, robust, and repeatable 3D biomechanical data can be captured and analyzed efficiently. This unparalleled processing speed and innovative approach enables us to deliver pre-injury kinematic assessments to entire squads at their training facilities — not just in laboratory settings.
Since 2018, our solutions have been implemented and validated by professional teams across 16 different sporting leagues in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States—particularly in sports with historically high rates of lower limb injuries. We pride ourselves on partnering with teams to implement comprehensive injury reduction strategies and develop informed interventions that drive meaningful changes in athlete programming, both before and after injury.
